What does QUOIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
British
A ring of metal, rope, or rubber thrown at a fixed peg in the outdoor game of quoits.
Quoits is played by tossing a heavy ring so that it lands over or as close as possible to a peg driven into the ground, in a manner similar to horseshoes. Each quoit is weighted and sized to be thrown with a controlled, low arc rather than a high toss. The game has a long history in Britain and remains a traditional pub and fairground pastime in some regions. The plural quoits is also used as the name of the game itself, distinct from the individual ring.
